There are plenty of papers on feminine play, told from all different perspectives.

But you can most definitely design for a specific demographic. It’s just that there’s no limit to who can and will enjoy the game you make. A game ‘made for women’ can literally be played by anyone.

I’m not saying that you can design a game for a specific gender audience. I’m saying I don’t think games that has this focus are good games.
